Chapter 198 Flooded Seventh Army
"However, there is enough price tag. Let us give him a proper position. If the price tag is low, he will not do it. After all, he also has the strength to fight us to the death."

Fang Jie nodded and said, "Then who is willing to recruit Zhang Lu?"

Zhang Xiu: "Whoever wins will go, big and small, bomb!"

"I only have two cards left, hey!"

Zhang Ren and Li Yan, who were at the same table with him, had a lot of headaches, and Zhang Xiu had never lost in a fight against the landlord.

It seems that this great contribution must go to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu waved the two cards in his hand, "Brother, Brother Zhengfang, are you sorry?"

Zhang Ren and Li Yan had no choice but to pick up two pieces of paper and stick them on their foreheads.

Zhang Xiu killed all directions at the card table, and came to Nanzheng City single-handedly.

Seeing him coming alone, Zhang Lu asked, "Why is Marquis Xuanwei here?"

Zhang Xiu lazily said: "Don't tell me it's useless, our Master Fang Mushui asked me to talk to you and see if it can be successful."

Zhang Lu immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate, put down the suspension bridge, and let Zhang Xiu come in.

Zhang Xiu came to the mansion on horseback with a spear in hand, while Zhang Lu held a fly whisk and a sword on his waist.

Outside the door was smoky and fragrant, but it also had the temperament of a cultivator.

Zhang Lu's general asked Zhang Xiu to hand over his spear.

Zhang Xiu said: "I'm sorry, the gun never leaves the body!"

Zhang Lu waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and took Zhang Xiu in to inquire.

There is a portrait of the Taoist ancestor hanging in the middle, and Taoist boys are standing around, burning incense, and green smoke curling up.

Zhang Xiu couldn't help asking: "Zhang Lu, are you a yamen or a Taoist temple?"

Zhang Lu said: "Under Zhang Lu's rule, politics and religion are integrated. It is not only a yamen, but also a Taoist temple."

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Then how do you work here?"

Zhang Lu was a little annoyed: "Xuanwei Hou came here today, didn't he want to tell me these things?"

Zhang Xiu said: "Okay, let's not gossip, the price offered by our lord Fang, guarantees you to be the general of Zhennan, Marquis of Langzhong, ten thousand households in the city, hereditary succession, and in your fief, you can preach as you like."

"In addition, Mr. Fang will also submit a form to the imperial court to enshrine you as Zhengyi Taiqing Zhaohua Guangde Zhenjun. The condition is that you give up Hanzhong, keep the welding tongs, and go to Xuchang to be enshrined."

"How about it?"

Zhang Lu: "Okay, I agree."

Zhang Xiu was taken aback: "Isn't it? That's a promise? Do you have any conspiracy?"

Zhang Lu sighed: "If you talk about conspiracy and tricks, how can I compare to your Lord Fang, who recruited Pound and took down my Yangping Pass."

"The gossip formation was set up again, Liu Bei was defeated, and now Jiameng Pass was taken, and Zhang Ren and Li Yan were recruited. It is impossible for me to say that I am not afraid of such a powerful method."

Zhang Xiu said, "Your surrender is the clearest choice."

Zhang Lu shook his head, "No, you don't understand, this ordinary person, he can call Zhengyi Taiqing Zhaohua Guangde Zhenjun?"

"This is an honor that even Daozu had never received before his death. This means that I will pass it on in the future, and it is allowed by the court. Master Fang knows me, and I am willing to surrender to him."

Only then did Zhang Xiu understand, "Oh, so that's the case."

The next day, when Zhang Lu surrendered, Fang Jie held Zhang Lu's hand and talked to him about Taoism.

Zhang Lu gave Fang Jie more than ten Taoist books, Fang Jie also asked Xu Shu to write a letter in front of Zhang Lu, and sent someone to Xuchang.

Since then, Hanzhong has been owned by Fang Jie.

Zhang Lu's more than [-] troops were all handed over to Fang Jie.

Cao Cao laughed out loud when he received Fang Jie's battle report and letter, and immediately asked Shang Shutai to play and seal Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu took three thousand personal guards to bid farewell to Fang Jie, and Fang Jie saw him off within nine miles of the city.

And Guan Yu of Jingzhou also took advantage of the heavy rain to send troops to surround Cao Ren in Fancheng, and Yu Jin led an army to Fancheng for rescue.

"This villager must have been tricked by Qianlong, otherwise, how could he be so smart!"

"My lord, it seems that this Qianlong, dead but not dead, has reappeared."

This was the third time Fang Jie said such words to Liu Bei, and he refused to believe that he would lose to a villager anyway.

Liu Bei obviously doesn't care about this. Apart from proper comfort, he cares more about the stability of Yizhou.

And how much money can be looted, used as war capital, and burned for his faith.

And he no longer calls Zhuge Liang a military adviser, but Kong Ming.

"Kong Ming, the defeat of our army did not cause any loss to the army, but the morale of the army and money. I don't know how to make up for it."

Although Zhuge Liang's mentality exploded, it was still pediatrics to deal with these things.

Sighing, he said: "My lord, it is not appropriate for our army to work hard in a short period of time. It all depends on what happens to General Guan's Jingzhou battlefield."

"Yizhou focuses on farming for defense. If there is no money, just recreate the money and change the Taiping money to five hundred dollars, so that the government treasury can be enriched in a short time."

Making money is Liu Bei's favorite.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's countermeasures, Liu Bei left Zhang Fei to guard Bachuan to prevent Fang Jie from going south to attack Yizhou, and sent Wei Yan to reinforce Jiange, and appointed Fazheng as the prefect of Bajun.

Then he returned to Chengdu with Zhuge Liang and started farming to make money.

And about taking advantage of Jiangdong, the Cao Cao family was too busy to flood the Fancheng area with water, and Cao Ren led the water army to attack Fancheng.

Many places in Fancheng were flooded, and the soldiers could only climb on high places.

Cao Ren asked Yu Jin to bring troops to rescue, and Yu Jin's army was also a mob made up of improvised people, not to mention water-based, and unable to enter Fancheng.

I had no choice but to stop at the outskirts of Fancheng and find a place with relatively high terrain to set up camp.

Unexpectedly, it rained overnight and the water level in the upper reaches rose.

Guan Yu ordered people to break the embankment overnight, and the camp of Yujin was completely submerged.

Guan Yu took Guan Xing, Zhou Cang, Ma Liang and others in a small boat, chasing and killing Cao Jun who was holding driftwood in the water to survive.

Yu Jin was also not very good at water, and after choking on a few mouthfuls of water, he was captured alive by Zhou Cang.

Above Fancheng, Cao Ren saw that Guan Yu used water warfare to break through the ban, and he was angry and annoyed.

He ordered the soldiers to smear poison on the arrows and shoot Guan Yu with random arrows.

Guan Yu was hit by an arrow in the arm, and he retreated just now.

With a wave of his hand, Cao Cao of Xuchang granted Fang Jie the title of Marquis of Lantian, with tens of thousands of households in the city.

Xu Shu worked for Hanzhong and assisted Fang Jie in everything.

Fang Jie's personal guards also increased a lot.

Pang De, Zhang Ren, and Li Yan are all Marquises of Guannei, worshiping the generals of the four towns.

Li Yan divided his troops to guard Yangping Pass, and the line of the South Road was guarded by Pang De.

Zhang Xiu led his troops back to Wancheng, and he was awarded the title of General Zhengxi, and most of the soldiers under his command also received awards.

These are all things to be happy about, but there are also things that are not very happy.

It's just that after leaving Fang Jie, I can't get together the letter of Doudizhu.

The territory has been laid down, and finally there is a place to stay. Fang Jie is reading books in Zhang Lu's Taoist yamen.

I thought about calling Guan Yinping, Sun Shangxiang and the others to Hanzhong. After all, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss them very much.

Wouldn't it be boring to have a country without a beauty?
At this moment, two arguments came from outside.

Fang Jie was wondering when he heard the guards report: "My lord, Mi Zhu will bring you here."

Mi Zhu is Mrs. Mi's eldest brother, that is, Liu Bei's uncle, who used to be a wealthy man in Xuzhou.
